New Delhi: Electric vehicle adoption in corporate employee transport is helping cut fuel use and costs, according to data shared by mobility firm Routematic, ANI reported.
The company said its fleet of over 400 electric vehicles operating in Bengaluru and Pune is saving around 65,400 litres of fuel every 15 days. At current fuel prices of about Rs 100 per litre, this results in cost savings of nearly Rs 65 lakh over the same period.
On a yearly basis, the firm estimates that its EV fleet can help avoid the use of more than 15.7 lakh litres of fuel, translating into savings of over Rs 15 crore, assuming fuel prices remain unchanged.
Routematic said the estimates are based on operational data from its existing EV deployments and reflect the financial benefits of partially shifting to electric fleets. It added that a complete transition to EVs could further improve cost savings.
The company pointed out that employee transport services are well suited for electrification, as vehicles typically travel 100–150 kilometres daily on fixed routes. Its EVs currently cover an average distance of around 120 kilometres per day.
Despite the financial and environmental advantages, the company noted that adoption of organised corporate commute systems remains limited. It said more than 60% of Global Capability Centres in India still do not have integrated transport solutions.
Routematic Founder and CEO Sriram Kannan said rising fuel price uncertainty is pushing companies to consider electrification not only for environmental reasons but also for cost stability and better operations.
The company operates an AI-based platform that manages routing, scheduling and fleet usage, along with monitoring battery performance and charging cycles of electric vehicles.
